Watercolor

Soft washes, splashes and bleeds of color that look like paint on paper. Watercolor tattoos feel loose and artistic, often grounded with a few crisp lines.

  • Minimal or no black outline
  • Often combined with fine linework

Good to know

Pure color without outlines can fade faster. A little black linework or structure underneath helps the design hold its shape.
